Methodological report employee and partner surveys of the linked employer- employee panel (LEEP-B3) in project B3 "interactions between capabilities in work and private life: a study of employees in different work organizations"

Abstract

"The sub-project 'Interactions Between Capabilities in Work and Private Life: A Study of Employees in Different Work Organizations' of the Collaborative Research Center 882 'From Heterogeneities to Inequalities' examines the role of the workplace context in the genesis of social inequalities, taking into account the interdependencies between work and private lives. The project focuses on employees' situation in work and private life and on the influence each area of life exerts over the other. The authors are particularly interested in how opportunities and risks in one area of life impact on the other. The project was developed in cooperation with the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) in Nuremberg. For the employer survey, 100 large companies were selected from the IAB data pool. The employee sample was drawn from all employees in these companies who were subject to statutory social insurance contributions. As a result, we were ultimately able to conduct 6,454 main interviews and 2,185 partner interviews. We commissioned the SOKO - Institute (Institute for social research and communication) in Bielefeld to implement the employee survey. The survey was conducted by telephone using a standardized questionnaire. The survey collected information about the employees' personalities and attitudes to life, their private lives, working conditions, and specific characteristics of the company employing them."
